Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp red food coloring
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
  • Cream cheese frosting (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add egg, vanilla, and red food coloring; mix until smooth.
  5. Gradually stir in dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  6. Fold in white chocolate chips, if using.
  7. Press dough evenly into the prepared pan.
  8. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until edges are set and center is slightly soft.
  9. Cool completely in the pan before removing and frosting.
  10. Decorate with cream cheese frosting or drizzle with melted white chocolate.

Notes

For extra richness, use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips instead of white.Add chopped nuts for crunch.Natural beet powder can replace food coloring.Make mini cookie cakes in tart pans or ramekins for individual servings.For best texture, avoid overbaking—the center should remain slightly soft.
